Ni Ouyang is a photographer and image-based artist born in Shanghai, residing in New York City. Ouyang holds a BFA in Photography and Related Media from FIT, SUNY. Ouyang’s work is rooted in her upbringing and dual cultural experiences of being an Asian in America. She often crafts environmental narrative-style images mingling the factual contents with the fictional drama and highlights the storytelling through the use of color, re-staging elements, and character expression, exploring the relationship between genuine captured moments and tableaux vivant. In her practice, she develops a semi-documentary form of work anchored by the female gaze.
